Let's Watch DOOM 3 BFG Played Roomscale With A HTC Vive

If you don't have a virtual reality headset the next best thing, of course, is to steal one from well-off friend. For the less kleptomaniac among us, there's YouTube, where the likes of SweViver are happy to romp around shooters of old -- in this case, DOOM 3 BFG Edition -- taking out demon-possessed zombies in the confines of an experimental facility on Mars...

The interesting thing is the graphics fidelity of DOOM 3 is about right for virtual reality. Pretty enough to look good, but not so demanding to be a stuttery mess. As the clip description notes, the game runs at a fairly consistent 90fps, which is more than playable.

Tried it this evening. It is painful to play this for too long. Not as bad as some of the oculus stuff I have tried, but it definitely shows that it was not made for VR. One of the few thing is the Vive that made me ill. Can't wait for the Bethesda doom experience.
